Survivor Nicaragua: Episode 5

I again have limited time to write da blog, but I wanted to share what I think are our updated scores. I had trouble remembering the new tribes though, so please correct me if I'm wrong:

La Flor - Fabio, Sash, Marty, both Kellys, Brenda, Jill, and Jane

Espada - Chase, Tyrone, Yve, Alina, Holly, Dan, Nay, and Benry

If these are correct, then here are our scores:

Me - 29 points
1. Brenda (14 pts)
2. Alina (13 pts)
3. Holly (2 pts)

Dachui - 27 points
1. Chase (13 pts)
[2. Jimmy J (0pts)]
3. Fabio (14 pts)

Courtney - 27 points
1. Jane (3 pts)
2. Benry (13 pts)
3. Kelly (11 pts)

Moon - 26 points
1. Jill (3 pts)
2. Dan (0 pts)
3. NaOnka (23 pts)

Doug/Bri - 16 points
1. Marty (3 pts)
2. Purple Kelly (11 pts)
3. Yve (2 pts)

Bag - 16 points
1. Sash (14 pts)
[2. Tyrone (2 pts)]
[3. Jimmy T (0 pts)]

I think those who most improved from the tribe swap were:

Me - My 2 ppl on the chopping block both joined a dominating alliance. Brenda continues to crush.
.
Courtney - Jane is in a much better position and got to show her badassery in the challenge.

Dachui - team Dachui I think improved the least, but I think it's a bonus that they're players are on different tribes now... that's just my opinion though and I'm sure there are many out who can validly argue the opposite.

Those whose positions became shakier:

Doug/Bri - Brenda has her sights set on Marty's hide, and I'd pick Brenda over Marty in a Devious Fight any day. She's much more subtle and effective.

Tom - Nay is going as soon as they have a strong majority, her new alliance won't protect her nearly as much as her old one. She's too unbalanced. Dan continues to anti-crush.

... and the Least Improved award goes to:

Bag.

You have the new tribes correct.

Biggest new tribe winners - Holly, Brenda, Jane (and Michal).

Biggest new tribe losers (not counting Tyrone)- Marty, Jill, Dan (and Sanders).

The new tribes will crush the oldies. Now they are going to get picked apart from both sides. Holly and Jane are better off than they were on their original tribe, but once the youngins have the numbers, they will be be gonzo.

Marty and Jill got the shaft with these new tribes. Then Marty had to go and make things even worse for himself by telling everyone that he has the immunity idol. Its going to take some smooth maneuvering for him to stay around if they lose a couple immunity challenges in a row. Complete control -> the outs. Brutal.

Brenda is looking like the favorite to go a long way right now. Total control of her tribe and multiple friends on the other. It might be all young people once the merge comes around. Go Purple Kelly! You might be the new pony. Giddy-Up!
